Half a month, or we can see each other today.
The eldest princess was a little unsure about the timing due to the master's ambiguous words.
Does that mean that anyone on this road could be the person she is looking for?
Even if they met, they would not be able to recognize each other.
After all, the two of them just didn't leave anything to identify each other, and there were no marks on his body.
She could never feel at ease because she couldn't find her son, but she just wanted to know that he was still alive in this world and she would find him one day.
Princess De'an had a vegetarian meal in the temple before returning. She wanted to pray for her son more and hope that he would be safe and sound.
When she came down the mountain and returned to the capital, there were almost no people on the road.
She was taking a nap in the carriage when she was suddenly awakened by the sound of horse hooves.
How come so many horses suddenly appeared?
"Princess, be careful."
Lingzhi brought several guards and quickly protected the eldest princess in the middle.
Those who came with the eldest princess today were all her confidants, and some of them had followed her to the battlefield. When they heard the noise, they immediately realized that something was wrong.
Princess De'an opened the curtain and came out. "Give me my spear."
It's been a long time since she took action. Someone must be treating her as a soft persimmon.
In a moment, a group of men in black on horseback surrounded them.
The eldest princess holds a silver spear in her hand, her eyes are sharp, and the corners of her clothes blown by the wind make her look heroic.
Her face was stern, and her expression was murderous. She curled her lips and sneered.
"Killers and assassins, the masters behind you really spent a lot of money."
She only brought five or six people, while the other side sent forty or fifty assassins. It is not an easy task to train so many assassins and death squads, not to mention in this capital city with so many eyes and ears. She knew who it would be without even thinking about it.
Prince Chen, her good brother, is going to put herself to death.
Princess De'an was not surprised by his cruelty. The three siblings were all legitimate children and had a very good relationship when they were young.
But ever since her father named her eldest brother the crown prince and handed over the Iron Cavalry to herself, while he was only given the title of a prince without real power, her brother has been dissatisfied.
She had heard with her own ears Prince Chen questioning the late emperor why he had nothing.
His father’s answer to him was that being a leisurely prince was the best protection for him.
In fact, the one that my father loves the most is Prince Chen. As the emperor, he naturally knows that there are too many things that are beyond his control in that position. It is better to be a leisurely prince and be free.
The fiefs given to King Chen were all in the richest Jiangnan area.
But he never understood his son. Prince Chen was ambitious and was not willing to be an idle prince.
Prince Chen had been planning this when the late emperor was still alive, and now he really has the capital to fight against the emperor.
The reason why he is still hiding and dares not reveal his ambitions is because he lacks the support of military generals.
Most of the Yuan Dynasty's military forces are in Jiangwei Town, and Prince Xuanyang still has some in his own hands.
After several years of testing, he realized that he and Jiang Weizhen would never be able to be used by him.
Since it cannot be used by him, he must want to get rid of it.
Now Han Wen has been recruited by him for his own use. As long as he gets rid of himself, the Iron Cavalry Army and the female army he has trained will all submit to her only son, Han Tianrui.
In this way, Prince Chen will have the troops to rebel, and as long as Jiang Weizhen is eliminated, the emperor will be unable to do anything to him.
He calculated everything, including his own sister.
However, his goal was to get rid of the emperor, their biological brother, so the life of his sister was naturally nothing.
He sent so many people here today, obviously he didn't intend to let her go back alive.
"Princess, there are too many of them. Let the servants hold them back while you find a chance to escape."
Lingzhi said with a deathly pale face that with so many people, and all of them were masters, it was impossible for them to survive. They could only hope that the eldest princess could escape.
"They won't let me go."
Their target is herself, so how could they let her go?
If they can't kill me today, they won't be able to survive.
"But I don't want to die either, so let's give it a try." The princess raised her spear. "Lingzhi, do you remember our battle in Mucheng?"
"Remember, we defeated the enemy's 20,000 troops with only 3,000 men."
When talking about that war, Lingzhi's blood still boils. In that confrontation, which everyone thought was a fatal one, under the leadership of the eldest princess, they held on for two days and two nights and finally broke out of the siege.
They also became famous for the battle of Mucheng. Since then, no one dared to look down on the eldest princess, the female general.
"We've been on the battlefield for ten years, and we've fought many battles where the outnumbered defeated the larger force. How can we be sure that we won't pull off another miracle today?"
She won't die until she has punished those three people and found her biological son.
She had just drawn a very good lot. No matter how many enemies there were today, she would fight her way out.
"We will protect the eldest princess and kill her."
With a roar, both sides rushed towards each other with murderous eyes.
This is destined to be a life-and-death war.
Princess De'an had learned martial arts since childhood and had been on the battlefield for so many years that it was difficult for ordinary people to be her opponent. In a short moment, she stabbed the two assassins who were fighting with her.
However, no matter how good her martial arts skills were, she could not withstand the siege of ten people. Soon, many wounds appeared on the eldest princess' body. Her clothes, which had just been gorgeous and clean, were now covered in blood. She could not tell whether it was her own blood or the other party's.
Within the time it took for an incense stick of time, all six people who came with the eldest princess, except Lingzhi, had fallen down. Lingzhi was also stabbed several times and was about to collapse.
And there are more than thirty people on the other side.
A sword flashed towards Lingzhi's back, and Lingzhi was about to fall down. Fortunately, the eldest princess reacted quickly and blocked the sword for her.
The two men faced each other with their backs to each other, just like they were on a battlefield.
"Princess, run away!"
Lingzhi said in despair that the martial arts of these killers were much higher than they thought. They thought that if they risked their lives, they would always be able to carve out a bloody path for the princess.
But now they are falling one by one, while the other side still has more than half of its people. It doesn't matter if she dies here, but the eldest princess cannot die.
Since we can't win, the only way to have a glimmer of hope is to escape.
Looking at the assassins who surrounded them, Lingzhi whispered, "Princess, I will attack from the southwest. You will find a chance to escape the encirclement."
Princess De'an understood that Lingzhi was willing to sacrifice her life to carve out a path for her. Although she was reluctant, if they did not escape, they would all be buried here.
She replied with difficulty, "Okay."
